PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS I BEG YOU; I AM IN THE LESSON RIGHT NOW AND ITS DUE TODAY!!! 1 The to-infinitive is found in various sentence constructions. Look at these four common uses:

a. To indicate the purpose of something (to has the same meaning as so as to, in order to), for example: She came to see the doctor.

b. After some verbs (advise, ask, encourage, invite, order, persuade, remind, tell, warn, expect, intend, would prefer, want, would like) which are followed by a direct object, for example: They would like you to make a speech.

c. Following a noun or pronoun, to indicate what something can or will be used for, for
example: I'd like a sandwich to take to school.

d After certain verbs (ask, decide, explain, forget, know, show, tell, understand) followed by question words, for example: She asked me where to sit.
